What’s New in Persona 5 Royal? Everything You Need to Know

New Combat Mechanics

Recommended Videos

With Persona 5 Royal, the turn-based combat is still largely the same, but with a few tweaks and improvements to make it even better. Gun ammo gets refilled in between battles, and as you spend more time with your Confidants at the darts and billiards place in Kichijoji, you can even improve the Baton Pass mechanic to help restore HP and SP.

As you get further into the game, you’ll also unlock Showtime Skills, which are similar to the duo attacks we got in Persona 4 Golden.

Finally, story bosses in Royal also have a few new mechanics to be aware of. Some of these mechanics make the fight easier, while others just make them even more frustrating and annoying, so your mileage may vary.
